Rear Brake diagram

Post by Carty »

Hi All
I'm replacing my rear cylinders and shoes but have a leak. I suspect that I haven't got the washers in the right place, interestingly when i took it to bits (because of a leak) I only had one copper washer on and i see that there is talk of 2, a large one and a smaller one.
i have bought these from ESM but cant for the life of me find a diagram of the pipe - cylinder connection area in any of my oil covered books.
Can anyone help as obviously i want to make sure i'm leak free when i bleed them.
On a separate note, I have bought the Ezebleed one man bleeding kit, but it don't fit as i have a remote reservoir. Anyone help with that??

Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

Here you are:-

Items No: 64 & 66 are the copper washers required and which should be in place. I would recommend that the washers are annealed before fitting to ensure a leak free seal. The copper washers may have hardened with age even those in the parts bin.

As regards the remote reservoir - you can get reservoir caps suitable for use with the Easy Bleed system or use the universal cap:-

From the wheel cylinder, the correct order is: small copper washer, brass banjo with bleed nipple, copper washer, screw in union to secure all this to wheel cylinder. Then brake pipe screws into that. Don’t forget to fit the rubber dust boot first thing first.

Re the rubber boot, ive already forgot that. A pain in the butt to have to take to bits to put on.
